To support a project to generate sporeless cultures of the commercially
attractive mushroom Pleurotus (oyster mushroom) we search students with
experience in molecular biology or microbiology.
The following techniques will be used/learned:
- generation and screening of a genome- and cDNA-library
- development of a transformation protocol for Pleurotus spp
- protoplasting of Pleurotus spp
- CHEF gel electrophoreses for the characterization of chromosomal DNA
- southern and northern blotting
Students interested to work on this subject for a period of 6 to 9 month
should send e-mails to mushex at ns.via.nl or letters to
The Mushroom Experimental Station

Accommodation will be financed by the Mushroom Experimental Station.
